Quetzalcoatl - Tequila Barrel

Bottle - Pours dark brown white head - Nose and taste of tequila, cinnamon, peppers, chocolate and oak - medium body

Bottle at RBWG Grand Tasting. Pours a cloudy orange with small off white head. The aroma is strong agave and wood. Medium body, pepper, agave, oak, dry finish, very good.

Bottle from Homer, 2014 vintage. Pours clear reddish hazel, small beige head that dissipates fairly quickly leaving decent residual and lacing. Aroma is definintely chili pepper, chocolate, vanilla, definite tequila notes. Flavor is light plus sweet, medium bitter, vanilla much less prominent than in base beer, tequila barrel adds some smoothing and oaky tequila notes -- chili peppers provide some flavor but only a hint of heat on the finish; a bit bell peppery, like bad coffee. Medium body. Mellower and better rounded than the base, less ABV burn, less vanilla. Definitely an improvement.

Bottle shared at RBWG ’15 Grand Tasting @ Coppertail, thanks to whomever shared this one, 21/02/15. Hazed orange amber with a moderate light beige covering. Nose is tropical fruit, light spice, pepper, sweet and sour notes, vanilla, toffee. Taste comprises caramel, sweet licks, light tequilla barrel, pineapple, candied orange peel. Medium + body, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Ok strong.
